Honouring Korean links

A major University event will celebrate the life of alumnus Yun Posun, the second President of South Korea.

A symposium, hosted by the University in partnership with the Yun Posun Institute, will reflect on the time spent by the late President at Edinburgh, as well as on historic ties between Korea and the UK.

In addition, it will encourage new partnerships between the two countries and promote the longer-term understanding and growth of contemporary Korean studies and culture in Scotland.

As part of the symposium, an exciting programme of social, cultural and academic events - including a presentation on Korean art, Korean and Scottish music recitals, and a Korean martial arts demonstration - will be held in the University’s Playfair Library.

All are welcome to attend, but tickets must be booked. To book tickets or find out more about the events, which begin with a reception on March 4, go to:
